The Panthers informed Boston of his release Friday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cutting Boston will save the Panthers roughly $3.5 million against the cap. The 28-year-old safety notched a career-high 95 tackles (61 solo) to go with one sack, four pass breakups and an interception across 16 games last year. Following Boston's release, free safety should be a key target for Carolina during the 2021 NFL Draft and/or free agency.

Boston finished with 10 tackles (four solo) and a sack in Sunday's 33-7 loss to the Saints.

EDGE Analysis

Boston not only tied for Carolina's team lead in stops, but he registered his first sack of the season while doing so. Overall, Boston's effort helped him finish the campaign with a career-best 95 tackles to go with four passes defended, one interception, two fumble recoveries and a fumble forced. At 28 years old and under contract for 2021, he's a solid veteran that can help the Panthers in their cause of building their defense back up.

EDGE Analysis

EDGE Analysis

Boston was a limited participant at practice throughout the week, so he appears trending to a game-time decision Saturday. Considering Boston has yet to miss a game this season, it's likely that he'll be out there trying to slow down Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay passing attack. If Boston were to miss the game, Myles Hartsfield would be in line for the start at free safety.

EDGE Analysis

Boston hasn't missed a game yet this season, and that won't change despite being a late addition to the injury report Friday. The team's third-leading tackler appears good to go for his regular role as the starting free safety.
